Texas Rugby Union Mary Graham All-Star Tournament

We’re excited to announce that the 2021 Mary Graham All-Star Tournament will take place in Grand Prairie, TX on December 4-5, 2021. This annual event has been renamed in honor of TRU Hall of Fame member Mary Graham who created the first U23 Texas Rugby Union All-Star team in 2001. Read more about the renaming of the event.

The TRU All-Star team will be joined by Mid-America, Pacific NW, Capital, Midwest (2), Chicago Lions, and the Austin Valkyries.
